Bella had to spend a night at the vet last night.
She'd been sick for a few days coughing. The vet said she was the fourth cat this week to come in with her condition. She's better now and will be back home today hopefully.

New Additions
A thinner Molly showed up on the porch so that meant she had her litter. Ray found them under the house. Looks like four but it was difficult to know for sure yet. She's pretty protective of them at the moment. We know of one red one, a black one and what looks like a gray tabby. Not sure if there's a fourth or not as they can all look like a ball of fur cuddled together. We'll know more in the coming weeks.

Time Flies
Wow! March is almost gone and April is knocking already. The first quarter of 2012 is coming to a close.
I've been a bit more busy than I have been. When the weather heats up, so does my energy. I've already planted 20 strawberry plants and some Aster seeds too. Managed to weed a bed and save some hollyhocks from smothering out like they did last year. Was happy about that.
Ray got the first full mowing of the lawn completed and it sure looks nice having all the grass the same height. Spring is here and the trees are beginning to open their leaves. The lilac bush will bloom for it's first time this year outside the bedroom window. It's still too small to send much fragrance through, but that was the plan when I planted it there two years ago. I know eventually it will.
A couple of our feral female cats are plump with kittens again so we'll be having more kitten pics in the coming weeks. Still trying to figure out how to catch them so we can get them spayed. The last mating ritual brought in a couple of neighbor males that managed to bite two of my males. One is neutered and one isn't but both got bit. Rosco, my tuxedo cat got a trip to the vet. He's OK now though and Sammy was healed before we knew he was bitten. He's fine too. Those males are nasty during mating season.
Bought several packets of seeds for planting this coming month. Flowers and vegetables are on the agenda. Got some pretty containers for annuals too. A trip to our favorite greenhouses will be coming up soon. Pics will be posted when everything matures.
We're going to replace some of our decking this spring and stain it a redwood color. Other parts will be painted green like it was before. It's time to freshen up around here and make it look inviting again.
Well, with spring, comes storms too. I can hear the thunder outside and the wind is picking up too so I'll close for now.
Any plans around your home for this spring and summer?
